What are the Biblical ethics in business to which we all should be obliged? How does one go to war, doing so also affirming Biblical values? Join us for this “Ask the Rabbi” segment a...

This week we celebrate the birth and honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. More than 50 years after his death, Dr. King’s voice and moral clarity still resonate with us. What was Dr. King’s understanding of Israel and the significance of Israel then, in the Black Church specifically, and how is that important in a day where too often moral clarity vis a vis Israel are blurred and confused...

Reports of Iran racing to acquire a nuclear weapon and the consequences of that occupy the news in Israel daily, like the weather. Indeed, Iran refers to Israel as a "one bomb country," meaning that it can be destroyed with one nuclear weapon. But concerns about Iranian aggression reach wider, throughout the Middle East and should be paid attention to around the rest of the world as well. Israel s...

In recent years around this season, its become more common for people to refer to Jesus as a “Palestinian,” “the first Palestinian,” and even a “Palestinian martyr.  You’d expect it from some of the sources, but it’s also creeping into mainstream dialogue.  What are the historical and biblical facts surrounding Jesus being a “Palestinian” and what does it mean for Christians and the Church, and fo...

In December 1944, Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds was captured after the bloody Battle of the Bulge, and taken to an infamous Nazi POW camp. Living under unspeakable conditions, simply surviving the winter was not to be taken for granted. Despite the conditions, Edmonds literally stood up to his Nazi captors, risking his own life during the final days of World War II to save Jewish soldiers under h...

Christians understand the significance of the rapture but the profound theological revelation about what to do, how, and why its significant to bless Israel after the rapture is not yet as fully well known.  Join this conversation with two distinguished Christian professionals, a doctor and a lawyer, discussing the theological imperative for Christians to make arrangements to bless Israel after th...

Thanksgiving is both a holiday and a verb. It’s wonderful, a blessing, to have one day to pause and be especially thankful for all our blessings, especially when that includes one’s extended family. But is being thankful one day a year enough?  Join this engaging conversation with Rabbi Pesach Wolicki in our “Ask the Rabbi” segment about Biblical Jewish traditions regarding giving thanks, and how...

Jews and Christians understand the Biblical obligation to give charity through tithing, as well as the imperative to bless Israel.

From the ends of the earth, Christians understand the spiritual and historic significance of Israel in their own faith. As should be. Pastor Manasa Kolivuso is Senior Pastor of Faith Harvest Church in Fiji.  As much as is there no place more at the end of the earth, Pastor Manasa stands as a strong pillar of faith and support for Israel in Fiji and the Pacific Islands. When most people think of Is...

“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!” (Psalm 137:5-6) As much as Jews and Christians have in common, there’s no place that’s more central to Jews and Christians than Jerusalem. It’s the city of the Kings, Prophets and where Jesus preached, worshipped,...

Three decades before Israel’s independence, Lord Arthur Balfour issued what’s known as the Balfour Declaration on behalf of the government of England.  Balfour stated that the official government policy was to establish a Jewish homeland in the Land of Israel, and that it committed itself to work to that goal. As important as that is in modern history, authority for Jewish sovereignty in the Land...

Run for Zion is the first and only program for Christians based on the Jerusalem Marathon.  As a pilgrimage and service experience, participants connect with the Land and the People in ways they never imagined, and never imagined they would. Pastor Ray Hardee is the current record holder, waiting for someone to come along and beat him. Come hear what’s in store with Run for Zion in 2022, 2023 and...

Did you know that until the fall of the Soviet Union, millions of Jews were discriminated against, persecuted, and prevented to leave?  When they went through the Soviet authorities to “apply” to leave, they were discriminated against even more. Those who advocated for the right to leave, tried to practice their faith, or even taught Hebrew were arrested. What led to the modern exodus of two-milli...

Israel is the land of miracles, it is also the land of hope. Hope is exuded from everything to the national anthem and the very fact that Israel is alive and thriving against all odds and enemies. How does Israel breed hope in the face of terminal or long-term illness, in the face of war and terror? Join us with Dr. Ben Corn who has applied hope as a model to live life to the fullest, no matter th...

Many Christians understand the spiritual and historic significance of Israel in their own faith. As should be. But not everyone understands the significance of the Bible and its seasons and feasts, and few understand like Pastor Mark Biltz. When most people think of Israel, they think of Biblical stories and prophesies, and the blessings of the modern state of Israel. Why are the moon and the star...

The Jewish people are known as the “People of the Book” because God revealed Himself to Abraham and established a covenant with his descendants through Isaac and Jacob, recorded in the Book of Books.  But the Jewish people are among the most prolific writers and “consumers” of books today, especially in the Jewish state.  What’s it like to be the largest English publisher of Jewish books of all ki...

In 2001, the UN convened a world conference on racism in Durban, South Africa.  It was quickly hijacked and became an international forum to call out Israel and only Israel, propagate the idea that Israel is an apartheid state, and a foundation of the BDS movement to delegitimize Israel’s existence.  Next week, the UN will convene a 20th anniversary event at which Israel will continue to be blamed...

The Olympics are not all about fun and sport, especially for Israel.  In 1972, Palestinian Arab terrorists kidnapped and murdered 11 Israelis at the Munich games. Over the years, Israeli athletes have been discriminated against and seen Arab and Moslem athletes guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct. We speak with the widow of one of the victims in Munich and two current Olympians who have overcome adv...

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Biblical New Year, the Jewish people enter the most awesome season of the whole year known as the Ten Days of Repentance (or Return) which conclude with Yom Kippur. But the messages of this season are universal as forgiveness plays a critical role.  What does the Torah say about this?  How can we replicate King David’s sincerity? How do thousands of years of Jewish...

It’s straight from the Bible: Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy.  God commands the Jewish people to let the Land rest every seven years.  It’s like a Shabbat (Sabbath day of rest) for the whole Land, for a whole year.  Join us to follow the backstory then, and how that applies to the restoration of Jewish sovereignty in the State of Israel today, and you’ve got the makings of another way in which we...

Most Christians know that Israel is significant to them and their faith - Biblically, and in modern times as the fulfillment of many prophesies.  Why is Israel significant to you?  Why should it be? Have you been to Israel and how has that changed or added dimension to your faith?  How is Israel significant if you’ve not yet visited?  This is the beginning of a series that asks Christian leaders t...

In addition to its overall high level of sophistication and integrity, Israel’s army plays a central role in Israeli society. Since most young men and women do military or national service, the soldiers are all our sons and daughters, literally and figuratively.  At times of war, or just intense heat, Israeli’s are programmed to step up to show their support and appreciation. Through this story, n...

Israel has problems and challenges that are unique (war and terror), and ones that all societies have as well. What happens when the two intersect and at-risk youth are put in the crosshairs and feel extra unsafe? Today we discuss an inspiring example about how we help turn youth at risk into children of promise, and a specific instance where average people have made a huge difference. www.
